Me too. UCSB's informal motto when i was there was "Party on Del Playa"
It probably still is! I am a 1985 grad - how about you?

I knew a lot of submariners from RPI. We toured there in 2007. Nice school. Our daughter was horrified to learn that the loss of a dorm's heating system was considered an emergency. I was surprised to realize how small that town really is.
Thanks for your comment.I do have a great deal of respect for those who attended the various schools of hard knocks.

Lots of great schools and impressive degrees. This forum has so many smart people regardless of whether you were ivy league educated or from the college of hard knocks.
RPI had a good nuclear program and is an excellent "undergrad" engineering school, in fact it is the oldest engineering school in North America. Since it is a fairly small school it lags others in terms of grad school/research, and is not as well recognized nationally as much as in the past. As for Troy, a dying mill town, and as far as I know, not much is going on there today except for RPI and the nursing school down the hill.
My nephew will be a junior at RPI this fall - he has enjoyed his first two years even though it has been quite challenging for him - he's working his @#$ off but a little hard work never hurt anyone. We've visited him a few times since my daughter lives nearby. Great school.

As for me, BS from Bentley College (now Bentley University) and MBA from Northeastern University.
Another Gaucho - UCSB. Not on the party track, graduated with highest honors. MS from U of Illinois at shampoo-bananna (Champaigne - Urbana).
